Lonely Planet`s new offering, `USA's Best Trips: 99 Themed Itineraries Across America,' is a great start to planning a road trip of any length. The 712 page guide categorizes trips by location, theme (routes, food and drink, outdoors, history and culture, offbeat), and by season.
This is more a planning guide than a detailed trip guide. While trips and interest sites are briefly described, the plan-ahead traveler will often need a more detailed guide to decide on hotels, restaurants, etc. However, this is a great place to begin one's plans.
The most effective way I know to evaluate a travel guide is to read the sections on places that I know well. As a frequent visitor to the Smokies, I agree with most of their suggestions for the area. My only quibble is the suggestion to visit the park in September and October; the foliage may be at its peak, but unfortunately, at least on weekends, traffic moves v-e-r-y slowly across the mountains as everyone turns into a leaf peeper. And as a native New Orleanian, I can also agree that their suggestions for the Crescent City hold true.
`USA's Best Trips' also contains maps, information from local `experts' (for me, the least interesting aspect of the guide), regional music play lists, child and pet friendly options, and a green index.
The bottom line: Four Stars. A great book for the armchair traveler or those who are deciding where to go, but more detailed information will be needed once a route has been selected.

WHY GO Got the Mule Skinner Blues? Then grab your fiddle and hightail it to western Virginia for a toe-tappin', knee-slappin', good time at the historic country, bluegrass and "old time" music venues that speckle the landscape between the Blue Ridge and Appalachian mountain ranges.

Another Vancouver institution is Steamworks Brewing Co, in Gastown. In the cavernous downstairs section of this big converted brick warehouse, folks get noisy over pints of Lions Gate Lager, while, upstairs, they lounge in cushy leather seats and take in the views across to the North Shore. It's a spectacular spot, and well worth the train ride north.
